Has anybody run into this or got an explanation for this behavior? I cannot
seem to find anything regarding it in the online manuals. This showed up
first in a project that I was working on, so I tried one of the programs
in "Examples" to verify the behavior.

Using the code in Examples/CalculatorLab++, when compiled with make debug,
when I gdb the resulting go.debug I get the following:

(gdb) info selectors Keys
All selectors matching Keys:
mapped selector #7 = operationKeys:
...defined by: "SimpleCalc"
mapped selector #18 = freeKeys:values:
...defined by: "HashTable"
mapped selector #67417363 = acceptArrowKeys:
...defined by: "NXBrowser"
mapped selector #67407585 = textDidGetKeys:isEmpty:
...defined by: "FontPanel" "Matrix" "NXFaxPanel" "SavePanel" "TextField"
mapped selector #11 = numberKeys:
...defined by: "SimpleCalc"
(gdb) b operationKeys
Function or Selector operationKeys not found.
(gdb) 

What I do not understand is why I can "see" the selector
(defined in SimpleCalc.m) operationKeys, but cannot seem to set a
breakpoint on it. Yet I can successfully set a breakpoint on a section
of code contained in the method definition of operationKeys!

Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
